Ever since making my own Chai spice mix, I've been wanting to use it in hot chocolate. Well, it only took me a few years! (My spice mix still smelled good and strong, in case you were wondering, lol.) I simply warmed up some almond milk mixed with 1% cow's, turned the heat to low and threw in some good milk chocolate. Then I whisked some chai spice mix in. This was so good, and the chai flavor reminds you of Fall. (Chai is an Indian-inspired mix of spices you can add to any tea; either regular or herbal. It typically includes black pepper, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon & ginger.)
